Salty Brine and Rock Licker are back at it again. Episode Fourteen is a continuation of last week's discussion and examine two other vital resources used in the making of Lithium-Ion Batteries, Cobalt and Nickel. We kick things off with Stories by James about the mythical creatures that protect the magical mountain treasures by killing miners who dare to take them. However, with the advent of Geology and Geology on the Rocks, we discuss the geologic context of the elements 27 and 28 and potential hazards associated with them. Luckily Beer is no longer made with Cobalt metal. We close our environmental series by highlighting some of the significant issues we may be blind to in the emerging lithium-ion battery industry. What Cobalt and Nickel giveth, they can also taketh, and we should pay attention and do our part to make the world a little better than we found it.
